Elevation reminds a little of the computer game Horizon Zero Dawn.
The notion of artificial creatures, akin to animals, that stalk and kill humans is central to the game and this film. That said, this is where the similarities, largely end.
In essence this is an apocalyptic, alien invasion by proxy story. Its pacing is decent but it does feel like its just one of the crowd. Nothing especially unique, intriguing or overly novel is going on here.
Acting is convincing, its a strong cast of well known faces, characterisations are a bit predictable but nothing really awful, either.
A comment does need to be made about the special effects, which really are, well done.
In summary an inherently watchable but also rather pedestrian sci fi, end of the world, adventure. Worth a look if, like me, you enjoy this kind of thing.
